This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!

Thanks everyone. Stacey, I honestly don't know when I started. Sometimes I worked in for days on end and sometimes I didn't work on it for months. I enjoyed making every stitch, every glorious fabric choice. I am going to miss working on this project.Can't decide what's next.

The dark chocolate background changes the look of the quilt. I really like the effect. Now I am curious about other deep colors for backgrounds. Any thoughts? And by the Way Liza, you indpire me. - Pete

Hi Pete,I have one friend doing the Lollys with a dull bronze background and another doing it with a deep red. I havent seen a bad version of Lollys yet.I am going to try to load a hi res version of my quilt for those of you who want to see how obsessive I was in selecting near mirror images.
